Steven Curtis Chapman cries out for peace with the beautiful words of ‘A Desperate Benediction.’ As our world becomes ever more turbulent, we turn to God and plead for peace.

“Peace on the takers and peace to all the givers
Peace in the blessing and the curse
Oh let there be peace on earth
Oh let there be peace on earth”

Steven Curtis Chapman is a Dove and Grammy award-winning musician. For decades, he’s been paving the way in Christian music and still remains a staple in the genre today. Over the years, Steven has blessed us with songs such as ‘Cinderella’ and ‘The Glorious Unfolding.’

Today, he is sharing a special song in the midst of national turmoil. On YouTube he wrote, “It is with a heavy yet hopeful heart that I share this new song with you...as a prayer...a cry...a Desperate Benediction for all of us....praying for peace, and praying that it starts with me, with you, with each of us.”

“Peace on the doubters and peace on the true believers
The star in the spotlight…the fearful in the shadows
The divers in the deep end and drowners in the shallows
For all I’m not and for all it’s worth, Oh let there be peace on earth”

As you listen to the words of ‘A Desperate Benediction,’ remember that God is the true source of peace. Let us turn our eyes upon Him and follow His lead.

John 16:33 “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
